Scientific capsuleers,
Exciting developments are on the horizon! Project Discovery is launching into its fourth phase today, introducing a critical dataset focused on immune system diseases, including cancer. Capsuleers have the unique opportunity to contribute to real-world scientific research from their ships, all while earning fantastic in-game rewards.
"Project Discovery's fourth phase marks a major milestone for citizen science by contributing to the search for a cure for one of the world's most deadly diseases," said CCP Burger. "The EVE community has a proven track record of helping scientists advance research for important causes. We are calling gamers from all walks of life to join our capsuleers in the fight against cancer."
Announced at Fanfest 2023, the new dataset brings cancer research into the spotlight. With the now familiar minigame mechanics, capsuleers will analyze vital data to aid scientific breakthroughs. Additionally, the introduction of X/Y axis density curves allows for the analysis of more complex sample types and enhances the accuracy and value of each contribution.
New rewards have been added to Project Discovery reward crates, in the form of three new and exclusive SKINR design elements: Insightful Azure Metallic, Citizen Cyan Metallic, and Scientific Panache Satin.
As you level up, you’ll have the chance to get these exclusive design elements and craft unique SKINs to showcase your achievements. In addition, the tutorial has also been updated, providing a comprehensive guide to understanding the new density curves and advanced sample types, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
The contributions of capsuleers have already made a substantial impact, from aiding COVID-19 research to discovering exoplanets.
With this new focus on cancer research, capsuleers are invited to step up once again, extend the science beyond the fiction, and make a real difference. Join this crucial mission, contribute to a cause that reaches beyond New Eden, and earn exciting rewards in the process!
